WDYT of the name Ellis?

KellyOsu23 · October 2009

I love it, we would never be able to use it though DH doesnt like it.

Its for a Girl not a boy.

We like Blake and Allison (Allie) for names

We like Blake for a boy or girl but probibly wouldnt do it for a girl.

I'm a fan of last names as first names for girls.

I like Ellis. You could put it with a feminine middle name like Ellis Grace.

See I think thats the perfect name. I just love it. Hmm Maybe I will work on DH

I think of Ellis Grey- Meredith's mom from Grey's Anatomy. Is ok a name, I personally wouldn't use it- but I like more flowly feminine names.

Koala77 · October 2009

I like it for both boy or a girl.

KristinKD · October 2009

I don't like Ellis and like it even less as a girl's name.

I love Allison, though, and I'd never think of Alice as a nickname for it. Allie, yes, Alice, no.

I like Blake for a boy too.

PEMmommy · October 2009

love it :-) one of my favorites!

LittleMs.Wifey · October 2009

I love it too. I read a book a few years ago with a female character named Ellis. I think it is a beautiful name!

franciscaz · October 2009

I like Ellis for a boy and Ellie for a girl. Blake for a boy and Allison for a girl.

smacb · October 2009

I think Ellis Island or someone's 90 year old grandfather when I hear Ellis.

cess525 · October 2009

I have a cousin named Ellis. She's a girl and her mom has the same name as her middle name. I think is cute and she is an adorable little girl Stick out tongue

same here. My BFF in elementary school's Dad and oldest brother were named this.

I went to college with an Annellis (an-ellis). I LOVED her name.

I also love Anneliese though. Some people thought you pronounced Anellis' name that way.

Guys named Blake all have popped collars. I knew a really wierd girl named Blakely. Didn't like it for either.

Rubypercy · October 2009

I just think of Ellis Burke of Red Sox fame. I like it for a boy, but don't like it for a girl. I just think it is too masculine. Alison is good name though! Blake is nms but not bad at all. GL deciding!

Toni1019 · October 2009

My BIL's name is Ellis, so I think of it as a boy only because thats the only person I know with the name.

To respond to your question, I love Ellis. It does remind me of Grey's Anatomy, though.
